Evil is an attack against human spiritual development and enlightenment. All evil, badness, neurosis - it has one motive and one motive only, which is to destroy - to destroy your chance of arising above yourself.

If we may not remain silent about evil in the Church, then neither should we keep silent about the great shining path of goodness and purity which the Christian faith has traced out over the course of the centuries.

The Catholic Church was the church of the colonial fascist regime.

When anyone has the power to destroy the whole human race in a matter of hours, it becomes a moral issue. The church must speak out.

It's troubling for me as a Catholic to be at odds with the church.

'Evil' is quite a blanket term. People aren't the demonic characters we would like them to be sometimes.

I'd have to say, and I think that most Christians would hold the view, that there is such a thing as evil, and there are evil forces at work. You can articulate that by talking about Satan or the Devil; that's sound, Scriptural teaching.

If religion cannot restrain evil, it cannot claim effective power for good.

Evil is a source of moral intelligence in the sense that we need to learn from our shadow, from our dark side, in order to be good.
